Ningbo Masterplan

Cities in Asia, and particularly in China, are undergoing some of
the world's most radical urban transformations. While they
attempt to modernize, their urban fabric often disperses to the
city's suburbs, and thus the historic city often loses its original
character. Our proposal for Zhongshan Road seeks instead to amplify
Ningbo's rich identity through a series of interventions in
landscape, infrastructure, preservation and architecture. Ten
kilometers of Zhongshan Road -historically Ningbo's cultural,
commercial, and political spine- is designed to foster and exhibit
the city's past, while at the same time allowing for its rapid
growth.
